Picture taken at the Spring Flower Show at the Garden Club of Trenton by C. E. Kyzer, Published Weekly —Since 1901 NUMBER 25 Alabama Authorities About four a. m. Wednseday morning, Jimmy Lee, son of Milt Lee, of Sulphur Springs, Ga7 escaped from the jail in Trenton. A short length of a bar which had been over the window remained behind as evidence that the youth had es¬ caped through the window over theb ack porch of the jail. One end of the bar was rusty, so Sheriff Lynch believes that the bar was sawed through some time ago by some men from California who were held pending investigation. Another bar was found partially sawed through and it is his opinion, as well as the other law of¬ ficers, that the California trio had started sawing their way to freedom when they were re- leasde. In his day-long vigil at the window, Lee evidently found the loose bar which had been stuck back together with cot- ton and s° a P and decide to walt till night to attempt the break. Lee was being held for the Alabama authorities on a car thief charge and has not as yet been apprehended.
